USA TODAY Sports

The 2010s are coming to an end. Time to look at the good, bad and ugly seasons and records for all 32 NFL teams in this decade after Week 11 of the NFL season.

32. Cleveland Browns: 40-113-1

There is no surprise the Browns are at the bottom of the list. They have been awful throughout the decade. Turning things around last year have not made a dent in the damage.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars: 49-105

The Jaguars had a run of six consecutive seasons with more than 10 losses. After a 10-6 mark in 2017 snapped that slide, they fell back to 5-11 last season.

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 55-99

USAT

Tampa Bay has not made the playoffs in this decade. It’s not hard to fathom when you realize it had one 10-win season and six years where the Bucs lost at least 10 games.

29. Washington Redskins: 60-93-1

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Once a standard for success, Washington has fallen on difficult times. There have been four seasons of double-digit losses and another pair with nine defeats. This year has the potential to be one of the worst years, as they’ve already dealt with a head coach firing and QB issues.

28. Oakland Raiders: 62-92

Not a great decade for Oakland, which has gone through five seasons with 10 or more losses against one year with 10 or more victories.

27. New York Jets: 64-90

Brad Barr-USA TODAY Sports

The Jets made the playoffs once in this decade and that was when it started in 2010. Since, it has been down, down, down with this season’s 0-4 mark looking like the nadir. Can it get worse? Hard to fathom. There have been two seasons with 10 or more wins and five with 10 or more losses. This year is headed to making that a half-dozen.

26. Tennessee Titans: 65-89

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

The Titans have made the playoffs once in the decade. The mark of 9-7 has been there rule as they have finished with that record four times. They have not reached double-digit wins but have lost that many games four times.

24. Miami Dolphins: 67-87

The decade has been dismal for the Miami Dolphins. There has been one playoff game, a 2016 loss in the Wild-Card round. Also, one 10-win season with six sub-.500 campaigns.

24. Buffalo Bills: 68-86

Buffalo started the decade with four consecutive 10-or-more-loss seasons. The Bills have been over .500 for the campaign twice in the decade but seem headed in that direction in 2019 with a 6-2 mark.
